20 Sewing Patterns for Perfectly Imperfect Projects

Karen Lewis has designed a selection of sewing projects inspired by the wabi-sabi ethos of finding beauty in the ordinary; repairing rather than discarding and appreciating the simple things.

Turn scraps of mismatched fabrics into beautiful quilts; extend the life of your favourite jeans with visible mending; embellish a linen pillowcase with sashiko-style stitching and enjoy the slow art of English paper piecing with this compilation of beautiful projects to treasure forever.
